Oh, come on, Scuds, even fracking John Derbyshire, who hates Kerry, says he thinks it's obvious Kerry was taking a jab at Bush, not the armed forces. Here's his quote:

"John Kerry is awful, and anything we can do further to degrade his political prospects is worth doing. But really, I saw a clip of him making the much-deplored remark, and it was obvious that the dimwit in Iraq that he referred to was George W. Bush, not the American soldier. It was a dumb joke badly delivered, but his meaning was plain. My pleasure in watching JK squirm is just as great as any other conservative's, but something is owed to honesty. There's a lot of fake outrage going round here."

And that's from someone who HATES him. If anything, Kerry should apologize for being a terrible joke-teller. Which he is.
